Hello Kevin.

I wonder if you are able to do a search in PIN 71 for me in your index
of pre WW1 soldiers ?

To see If there was any claim made by, the widow who may have returned to
India ( where her parents lived ) , the Widows name would be Mrs
C.(Catherene) Hudson,(Nee O'Connor), wife of a Gunner # 4419. T Hudson .8
RFA,Whos was Killed by lightning at Standerton S.A. on the 9 /1/1902.

Kevin I am sure that you are a Boer War Researcher, if so! would you
kindley quote me a price for this search .so I can run it past the keeper
of the "Purse".

I hope that you may be able to help me ,

Thank you , look forward to your reply.

Bill In Weymouth .N.Z.
